Novels

Mallory Greene is drowning in her new normal: new house, new coast, young kids, and a husband who’s become increasingly distant. Which is why the Sweet Hill moms are so important.

Mallory’s heard the rumors—they’re exclusive, ruthless, and powerful enough to make or break anyone in town. So when their charismatic leader, Natalie, finally takes notice of her, Mallory is thrilled. For the first time in months, she feels seen.

Mallory soon learns that the Sweet Hill moms play a private game they call “confessions” at their evening gatherings, each woman revealing a secret the others could destroy her with. It’s intoxicating. And cruel. Mallory, with secrets of her own, must decide who she can trust and what she should reveal, including the real reason she wanted to join the Sweet Hill circle.

But as her friendships with the women deepen, Mallory begins to suspect she wasn’t invited into the circle at random. Someone wants her right where she is, and what she thought was a game is something far more deadly. Mallory will have to choose where her loyalties lie—and what she’s willing to do to prove it.

When Sloane sees a young girl in tears at a park one afternoon, she can't help herself — she tells the girl's (very attractive) dad she's a nurse and helps him pull a bee stinger from the girl's foot.

With this lie, and chance encounter, Sloane becomes the nanny for the wealthy and privileged Jay and Violet Lockhart — the perfect New York couple, with a brownstone, a daughter in private school, and summers on Block Island.

But maybe Sloane isn't the only one lying, and all that's picture-perfect harbors a much more dangerous truth.
